Overview

Amoebiasis must be differentiated from other causes of abdominal pain, bloating, acute or chronic diarrhea, and weight loss, such as other infectious causes of gastroenteritis, including bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic pathogens, in addition to non-infectious causes, including acute pancreatitis, appendicitis, bowel obstruction, diverticulitis, drug reaction, hyperthyroidism, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, lactose intolerance, Whipple disease, tropical sprue, and lymphoma.

Differentiating Escherichia coli Enteritis from other Diseases

Amoebiasis must be differentiated from other causes of acute or chronic diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain, and fever (less common).
Differential diagnosis of amoebiasis includes the following:

Infectious Differential Diagnoses

Bacterial infections (e.g. E. coli infection, shigellosis, salmonellosis, C. jejuni infection)
Viral infections (e.g. norovirus, rotavirus, astrovirus, HIV)
Fungal infections (e.g. Candida spp.)
Parasites (Giardia, Cryptosporidium spp., Cyclospora)

Non-infectious Differential Diagnoses

The following are the non-infectious differential diagnoses of E. coli enteritis:

Acute pancreatitis
Adrenal insufficiency and Waterhouse-Friedrichsen syndrome
Allergy (e.g. insect bite allergy or anaphylaxis)
Appendicitis
Bowel obstruction
Celiac disease
Diverticulitis
Drug reaction (e.g. antimicrobial agents, antihypertensive therapy, chemotherapy, anticonvulsants)
Endometriosis
Familial Mediterranean fever
Gastrointestinal perforation
Hyperthyroidism
Ileus
Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis)
Intussusception
Ischemic colitis
Ketoacidosis
Lactose intolerance
Lymphoma
Mesenteric ischemia
Necrotizing enterocolitis
Ogilvie syndrome
Peritonitis
Pneumonia
Poisoning and toxicity (e.g. carbon monoxide poisoning, organophosphate poisoning, digitoxin toxicity)
Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
Spider bite
Tropical sprue
Volvulus
Urinary tract infection
Whipple disease
